Ageing, work and health:
an investigation of working women's experience of the menopause

  Ageing, Work and Health: An Investigation of Working Women's Experience of the Menopause

This research is expected to be completed later summer 2009. It aims to identify:

1. the extent and nature of the problems that the menopause presents for women at work
2. how this can be improved through design and management of work

Deliverables:

• evidence based recommendations for management and occupational health advisers to inform policy, best practice and a work environment that will be conducive to the health and productivity of women working through the menopause
• identification of the factors that would help women working through the menopause stay in work, thus reducing staff turnover
• advice leaflets for older women working through the menopause and for their employers
• scientific report on work related concerns of older women workers, and their effects on health, motivation and performance
